Zimbabwe vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI

That's it from us here. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did. Hop over to the other tab and follow Sri Lanka vs Australia. Thanks and goodbye.

Mushfiqur Rahim is the Man of the Match for his superb century, although it went in vain. Looks like he is injured and hasn't come out for the presentation ceremony.

Taylor: I am over the moon. It is an awesome feeling and a wonderful result for all the hardwork we put in the last 8 months. Hopefully we keep getting better and better. We had enough runs but they had guys like Tamim and Shakib who can take the game away from us. Rahim almost did it but we held ourselves. I just tried slow and sharp spells for the bowlers so that the batsmen don't get used to any bowler. As a batsman, I know that it is difficult for any batsman to keep adjusting to new bowlers. We'll take it one game at a time but will celebrate tonight.

Shakib: Not close enough. We bowled well but our fielding cost us the game. With 4 dropped catches, it is hard to win any game but nothing to take away from Zimbabwe. They have played terrific cricket and deserve the series. We batted well but just not close enough. Rahim was terrific. We always believed in him and knew he had it in him to take us home but unfortunately he couldn't. The youngsters are doing well, hopefully we will do well in the next 2 games.

Taibu and Masakadza were the stars with the bat for Zimbabwe today. They rescued the team from tough situations and put a competitive total. Bangladesh looked on course but regular wickets kept pulling them back. Rahim scored a superb century, but unfortunately for him, the tail imploded and left him with too much to do. Do stay tuned for the presentation..

Zimbabwe win the series 3-0 with 2 matches to go. This after they won the only Test a few days back. What an effort by them. Bangladesh were the favourites, as Shakib himself claimed, but Zimbabwe have been completely dominating in the series so far. They have unearthed good talents in Jarvis and Vitori and look like a good, competitive unit.

49.2 Mpofu to Rahim, out Caught by Sibanda at long on!! No he can't take Bangladesh home! He looks down in disbelief and then raises his head to see Zimbabwe celebrate their series win. Credit to Zimbabwe though, they kept their nerves through tough phases and came back strong later. This is how Rahim got out: He went for a big shot, mistimed it high and straight to long on. No mistakes by Sibanda and Zimbabwe hurry into a huddle. Rahim c Sibanda b Mpofu 101(100) [4s-8 6s-1]

Mpofu to Rahim, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

49.1 Mpofu to Rahim, 2 runs, 1st ever ODI CENTURY for Rahim! Gets a round of applause from his teammates, gets there with a drive through covers. Can he take Bangladesh to a win?!

What a match this is turning out to be. The powerplay is over so the field is spread out.

Nazmul Hossain, right handed bat, comes to the crease

48.6 Jarvis to Hossain, out Bowled!! Don't blame the batsman this time. This was too good for a tailender. The PERFECT yorker on middle, Hossain fails to get his bat down in time. What a match this is turning out to be. Hossain b Jarvis 1(2)

Jarvis to Hossain, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

48.5 Jarvis to Rahim, 1 run, fullish one, he drives it to extra cover

48.4 Jarvis to Rahim, SIX!!, this is why the other batsmen should have just taken the singles! Swings and smashes a length delivery over deep mid wicket for a maximum. Gets closer to his century!

48.3 Jarvis to Hossain, 1 run, drives it to cover

48.2 Jarvis to Shafiul Islam, out Bowled!! Bangladesh are imploding. This is crazy and unbelievable. I fail to understand why they can't take a single and give strike to Rahim who is batting superbly in his 90s. Anyway this is what happened - it was a straight ball, Shafiul Islam wanted to smash it over the on side but failed to make contact, turned back to find his stumps disturbed. Shafiul Islam b Jarvis 0(3)

Jarvis to Shafiul Islam, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Kyle Jarvis [9.0-0-44-0] is back into the attack

47.6 Mpofu to Shafiul Islam, leg byes, 1 run, a big appeal for LBW not given by Dharmasena. That looked plumb to the naked eye! Yorker on middle and leg, Shafiul Islam missed it completely and got hit on the boot. Not sure why it was given not out, doesn't matter anyway

47.5 Mpofu to Rahim, 1 run, well bowled. Sees him coming down and bowls a yorker, Rahim digs it out to square leg

47.3 Mpofu to Rahim, no run, mistimes a slower one to mid wicket

Shafiul Islam, right handed bat, comes to the crease

47.2 Mpofu to Nasir Hossain, out Caught by Taylor!! This time he gets him! Nasir Hossain has needlessly gone for a big hit when all he needed to do was give company to Rahim! Looks to pull a short one, gets a top edge that goes high and finds mid wicket when it comes down. Somebody just stay with Rahim!! Nasir Hossain c Taylor b Mpofu 0(2)

Mpofu to Nasir Hossain, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

47.1 Mpofu to Nasir Hossain, no run, almost another one! An off cutter from Mpofu, Nasir Hossain goes back and tries to pull, hits it uppishly but just short of mid wicket

Nasir Hossain, right handed bat, comes to the crease

46.6 B Vitori to Mahmudullah, out Caught by Masakadza!! Is there a twist in the tale?! This match continues to swing between the 2 sides. This was a short ball on middle, Mahmudullah was looking to pull, hit it straight to long on where Masakadza takes a sitter. Somebody needs to stay with Rahim till the end. Mahmudullah c Masakadza b B Vitori 14(11) [4s-1]

46.4 B Vitori to Rahim, 1 run, very full on middle, he gets it off the toe end of the bat to long on

Looks like there is some problem with the ball. The umpires are getting it changed.

46.3 B Vitori to Rahim, FOUR!!, brilliant shot! Another 4. Fuller on off, Rahim makes room and squeezes it out, between point and short third man for four. Rahim is doing a Bevan here

45.5 Jarvis to Rahim, 2 runs, another 2! Lofts it straight down the ground and run back for a couple

Brian Vitori [8.0-0-26-0] is back into the attack

He punches it straight to extra cover and sets off for a run, keeps running even though Rahim wasn't interested. Vitori had all the time in the world to throw it to the keeper's end. Good innings by the youngster though. Hom run out (B Vitori/Taibu) 32(36) [4s-3]

Welcome back. The Zimbabwe team is in a huddle and it is Taylor who is doing the talking. Clinch the series today, he will be saying. Will they do that?

Zimbabwe were going at snail's pace initially but paced the innings well and ended up with 250 on the board. Masakadza and Taibu saw off the tough phases and took calculated risks in the middle overs and put on a brilliant 100 + stand. Both fell towards the end but useful cameos from Ervine and Chigumbura made sure Zimbabwe reached 250. Join us in 40 minutes for the chase.

49.6 Shakib Al Hasan to Utseya, 2 runs, gives the charge and lofts it to long on, didn't time it well but they run well to come back for 2. The throw from the fielder hits Jarvis, who has a smile on his face as he walks off. 250 for Zimbabwe, a very good effort by them.

Prosper Utseya, right handed bat, comes to the crease

49.1 Shakib Al Hasan to Chigumbura, out Caught by Hossain!! Poor ball but gets a wicket. Bangladesh will take it though, this one was a juicy full toss, Chigumbura mistimed the big hit straight to long off where Rubel took a simple catch. Good cameo from Chigumbura comes to an end. Chigumbura c Hossain b Shakib Al Hasan 31(21) [4s-1 6s-2]

Shakib Al Hasan to Chigumbura, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

48.6 Hossain to Chigumbura, 1 run, better from Hossain, bowls this full on middle, he jams it to mid wicket to rotate strike

46.4 Hossain to Taibu, out Caught by Hossain at fine leg!! Now that is a superb catch! Hossain bowls a full toss on the legs, Taibu helps it uppishly to fine leg.

44.4 Mahmudullah to Ervine, out Stumped!! Gone. Mahmudullah gives it more flight after seeing Ervine charging down, he looked to play through the off side but missed it completely. Simple stumping for the keeper. Ervine st Rahim b Mahmudullah 18(13) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mahmudullah to Ervine, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!

44.3 Mahmudullah to Ervine, FOUR!!, flat on the legs, Ervine goes on his knees and sweeps uppishly but just wide of a diving Tamim at short fine leg. Important runs for Zimbabwe

42.1 Mahmudullah to Ervine, no run, flat on off, Ervine gives the charge and pushes it to cover
